    Lights like that need a lift kit and nice meaty tires underneath! I bet your temptation has grown... huh? High speed dirt runs like that though need no lift at all... sooooo... Very cool vid as well, I love the whitewall look!

    Bart,

    Very nice on both the light install and the video.

    Can't wait to see it in person.

    Yes and no. I mean, I did A LOT of wheeling allover northern Nevada last week. I never really came upon anything that would have required a lift. But that said, there was one spot where I scraped, but it was mostly because of the angle I took it at and the lack of a spotter.

    A lift would be sweet, but I am still skeptical about the basket of problems associated with it...only time will tell.

    My ABS light is on now too.

    I think if you did the drop brackets and brake lines first, instead of the torsion crank I'm sure that you could bypass the problems.

    Yeah, it is certainly temping....it would complete my VX and make it look that much better, especially with some nice BFG Mudders on there...oh yeah.

    If I had a second vehicle to get me to work I would be 100% down with it, but at the moment, I can't take my VX out of drive until I have a backup plan.

    I'm hoping to also fix my Xterra, lift it and strip it down and use that as a full time desert beater, but that is a ways off also.

    So many projects, such little time, and even less money!

    Bart
